My brother had purchased one piece of land in 1962. I am his only sister. My brother left for Bangladesh giving me notory power of attorney of that said land. Two years back he died there without having any will. He was unmarried throughout his life and I'm his only sister. Now my question how can I legally claim my rightover that land?

Is your parents alive, if yes than your parents too shall have a share in this property, if not based on the death certificate you should do mutation of the property declaring that you are to sole legal heir of the said property.

Thank u sir for your quick reply. I want to be little clear. My brother died in Bangladesh.Is death certificate issued from Bangladesh valid in India? And how could I declare myself as his sole heir to have the mutation done? Awaiting your kind reply. Thank you in advance.
